Twisted Asylum

Pride

It felt like torture to leave the break room, but it had to be done if I actually wanted to get my work done. Galena and Armaros trail behind me as I lead the way.

I walked down the Savanaclaw hallway with the two, making the treck to the lions' den.

"Yuu, can I give you some advice?" Galena asks from behind me. She sounds cautious.

"Mhm. I'll take all the help I can get."

"An old friend of mine was his doctor a while ago. Leona may be the prince, but he has some nasty, violent tendencies. Be careful with what you say around him." Galena said with a stern face. Armaros nodded in agreement, hiding behind his doctor. I nod in understanding, continuing my way down the hall.

Galena checks her phone, humming in satisfaction. "Hm, I got permission from The Director to bring this guy with me." She gestures to her patient. "Only as long as he stays away from Leona though. Got that?" Galena stated firmly.

I nod once more. "Sure."

Eventually, we reach his cell, a guard next to the door giving us a polite nod.

Galena opened the cell with her key card, which was a higher level than mine, stepping in. I followed shortly after, moving to stand next to her as Armaros lingers in the doorway, nervous.

Who I assume is Leona is sitting against the back wall. He was tied down with a straight jacket, a chain connected him to the wall. His body was riddled with scars and bruises from who knows what.

A low growl filled the room. "What the hell are you doing here?" Leona spat out, opening one eye.

Armaros shivered from his place behind Galena.

"We're just here to ask some questions, we're not here to hurt you." Galena spoke reassuringly.

Leona glared at Galena, scoffing slightly. "Tch, do whatever you want, you're wasting my time."

I frowned.

What time do you have to waste? You're in an asylum.

I pulled out his file to see what I was dealing with.

"Sheesh..." I muttered out. That's pretty intense.

"So... Does Leona find his nephew annoying because he just doesn't like kids or something?" Armaros whispered to Galena, not wanting to trigger Leona.
"Calm down, Leona doesn't hate Cheka... I hope." Galena responded.
